Description

This lounge suite is part of a LARGE consignment of Pacific Green Furniture. We have about 12 Pacific Green Furniture listings going online over the next 2 weeks. Follow us on INSTAGRAM so you don’t miss any of our new listings.

LOCATION- being sold by a private vendor living in MOOREBANK, SYDNEY but this suite will be moved into nearby storage shortly (could be within a 15km radius of Moorebank). If you’d like to view the suite prior to committing it’s best to get in contact with us sooner rather than later. Once it’s in storage viewings will be difficult, if not impossible.

Price is OFFERS OVER $2,595 for the sofa. The price of these matching chairs in iNVISeDGE is given in a separate iNVISeDGE listing. Retail value of this suite is ABOUT $7,020 for just the sofa only AND $3,930 x 2 for the pair of chairs- $7,860 + $7,020 = $14,880 TOTAL for all 3 pieces. BUT this retail value is for the Pacific Green Cayenne suite. The Kiribati is no longer sold and is more complicated in construction (and nicer in looks) so it would have to worth more than $14,880.

ABOUT THIS LOUNGE SUITE

This is the “Kiribati” design which was introduced by Pacific Green Furniture about 25 years ago. This particular suite is 8 years old. ALL 3 pieces present basically as new. VERY well looked after! Supreme sitting comfort and pure luxury, this suite is in a league of it’s own. Just look at those contours. Sweeping arms, angular sides- just breath-taking stuff! Don’t miss this suite- the reserve price is about ONE THIRD retail. You’ll never find another of these at this price again. There are some shops in Australia selling vintage Pacific Green for MORE than the new retail price. I have recently become a salesperson for NEW Pacific Green Furniture in Brisbane (message me if you’re in the Gold Coast, Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast and you’d like new Pacific Green Furniture for the best prices you can get in Australia.) The leather is pure luxury- definitely some of the best leather I’ve come across. The construction is just awesome. This furniture is built to last FOREVER (not just one generation). It has a steel sub-structure and the timber pieces are clad onto a SOLID STEEL frame- just incredible stuff! You won’t find a more inspiring lounge suite again- particularly in this price range.

ABOUT PACIFIC GREEN

In my eyes, Pacific Green is one of the most inspiring brands in the world. It’s an Australian brand with humble beginnings starting back in the early 1970’s (as Post & Rail Furniture). Today in 2024, over 50 years on, Pacific Green is one of the most coveted furniture brands not only in Australia but the world. Second-hand Pacific Green items in the US often sell for DOUBLE what they sell for here. I’ve been dealing in pre-loved furniture for 24 years- it takes a lot for anything to stand out to me these days but Pacific Green without a doubt does. I specialise in finding items found in Australia- I don’t go overseas and fill up containers to bring here. We have so much inspiring stuff here in Australia there’s no need to. In my years in this business I think Pacific Green is the best furniture brand to ever come out of Australia. Tessa and FLER come close (but Tessa/FLER items tended to mimic what was done overseas at the time). Pacific Green does its own thing- their designs are distinctive, interesting, earthy, creative and certainly have “wow factor”. But stunning design is a small part of the appeal. The quality is EXCEPTIONAL. The CRAFTSMANSHIP BY HAND is exceptional. The ethos of Pacific Green is exceptional.

Put one of these chairs next to a Parker lounge chair from the 1960’s and there’s absolutely NO comparison. These chairs are HEAVY and been built to last forever. Not just one generation. If they’re looked after with some sense I see no reason why this suite won’t last forever. These chairs have a steel sub-structure so they’re solidly built and the eye for construction detail is not what I’ve ever come across before. You want a really strong furniture investment? Pacific Green is it in my eyes. And at this price, Pacific Green can’t even make this suite for the reserve price. That I know without a doubt as I now work for Pacific Green selling new Pacific Green furniture.

Pacific Green uses coconut timber for the manufacture of all their furniture. Coconut wood is more resilient than virtually any timber- it thrives in areas battered by tropical cyclones. Pacific Green Furniture uses abandoned plantations of coconut palms in the South Pacific that were commercially planted in the early-1900’s but reached the end of productive fruiting. Instead of going to waste Pacific Green makes use of this valuable sustainable resource.

But the best part in my eyes is that Pacific Green have set a benchmark for modern, sustainable business for other businesses to follow. In the late-1980’s land was leased, not bought, to respect indigenous ownership. Their initial factory was built in consultation with the surrounding villages and employed only local people. Business and skills training programmes were established. That factory is OWNED BY FIJIANS- the drive of the business is Australian- the designing arm happened and still happens here in Australia.

I am inspired and heartened that a small Australian business changed tack the way they did back in the late-1980’s when ecological threats and socially-conscious business was barely ever thought of.

Right … I must talk about the actual suite on offer here. (Sorry for such a long-winded affair but the Pacific Green story needs to be told.) This design is called the “Kiribati”- I don’t think it’s produced anymore. I vaguely remember it on their website a few years ago but I can’t find it anymore. You can also see the durability of the construction from the photos- the meticulous eye for detail. It’s obvious this suite not just slapped together any old how. Pacific Green is not a flash in the pan- they’ve been around over 50 years- they earned their reputation long ago for furniture craftsmanship of the highest quality. This furniture is HAND-CRAFTED- a dying art but one that needs to be nurtured. You can see from the photos that PG have also considered the comfort. They’re great chairs to curl up in and find your own comfort (they’re a BIG size). There’s a great mix of softness AND support and the angles are spot-on for sitting in.

I love finding exciting furniture. Furniture like this is the reason I do this job. Pacific Green ignites inspiration- they tick every box and prove that businesses can be successful, ecologically-responsible and socially-aware. Pacific Green Furniture has been built to last and will continue to tell stories well after you and I are gone- just like Post & Rail furniture already has. Pacific Green will become the antiques of tomorrow. There’s no better way to invest in your home and reduce landfill.
